Throughout the ages, the tomb robbery is the most mysterious, since Wu Zixu excavated the tomb of the King of Chu to whip the corpse of three hundred, all kinds of anecdotes around this craft work are numerous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoFor thousands of years, tomb robbing, this craft hidden in the dark, has been in the ascendant. So far, not only has there been a large branch of the official digging and the people and thieves, but the people have even divided into faction categories, and a variety of rules and regulations have emerged in various industries, such as worshipping the ancestors, drinking oath wine, remembering the rules and learning crafts, three wants and three don'ts, two into three do not enter, etc., which is called a strict and detailed. The incident I want to talk about today is the story of a group of six tomb robbers who entered the valley and robbed the tomb in Yingu Valley more than 30 years ago.

It is said that in the territory of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province, there is a valley near Xiaomengla in Daluo Town, Menghai County, where the geology is peculiar and the soil is bloody. Yin Valley is surrounded by primeval forests within a radius of 100 miles, for thousands of years, the three parties do not ask, people and animals are not close, and the location is slightly awkward, just across China and Myanmar, can be regarded as an authentic and mysterious area.

Legend has it that it was a quiet late night in late autumn, and the men who ventured into the valley were all dressed in gray clothes and gray trousers, with black linen belts around their waists, and dark cotton-soled shoes—all of them dressed as first-class nocturnal outfits. Rao was outnumbered, and the team seemed to be in good order, walking all the way through the quiet valley, wearing the moon and the stars without making any sound, the moonlight fell on their faces through the heavy branches and leaves above their heads, and the faces wrapped in thick wrapping cloth could not be seen, only six pairs of cold and indifferent but shining eyes flickered in the forest.

Suddenly, the big man who was at the front of the line suddenly stopped, and the actions of the rest of the people behind him stopped almost in the blink of an eye when the leader made a gesture like a well-trained professional soldier.

The air in the forest seemed to be still.

I saw that after the team stopped their footsteps, they took the big man as the center, silently formed a personal circle, all of them lowered their bodies, squatted on one knee on the dead branches and leaves in the forest, silent and orderly, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Arrived?"

There was a masked man with the head of a dwarf in the team who asked in a low voice, but the leader did not answer, but took out a bundle of files from the cloth bag around his waist, slowly spread it out on his lap, stared carefully for a long time, and then raised his eyes to look not far in front of him, and kowtowed silently, which was to answer the short man's inquiry. With the leader's light kowtow, there seemed to be a small commotion in the crowd, but then it calmed down again.

"Shine the tricks, the guys, and get ready to work." With the leader's low command like a throat, the group took out all kinds of utensils from the cloth bag and exercised them in their hands, including pickaxes and shovels.

The so-called "turning over meat dumplings" is actually tomb robbery, which is a southern saying, and the south also calls this kind of people "meat dumplings"; In Henan, northern Jiangsu and other places, tomb robbers call this job "shaving sweet potatoes", corresponding to "turning salted fish", etc., as for the "inverted bucket", in the past only around Beijing and the northeast, such as Shenyang these places tomb robbers will say this, these are the hidden names of the corpse in the circle, in the past this kind of black words were extremely popular among the northern tomb robbers, this is also because no one in the industry will use the word "tomb robbery", after all, it is a matter of losing conscience, yin and yang both need to avoid suspicion, and I heard that in the north, A large proportion of tomb robbers adhere to the industry principle of "thieves do not go empty", while in the south, these rules are more relaxed.

Let's say that about eight or nine feet away in front of this group, by the moonlight you can barely catch a glimpse of a large mound that rises abruptly, resembling a lonely hill; The darkness behind the lonely hill rises from the ground, stretching straight up, as if a large area of ink clouds splashing and stretching, picking up the eyes and looking at it from afar, out of reach, not like the topography of a flat river, giving people the feeling that it is at the bottom of a cliff and valley somewhere. The top of the cliff is strange and difficult to see, from the top to the bottom, and is chiseled behind the lonely hill. By the light of the moon, the men in coarse cloth and dark linen night clothes soon came to a place a few steps away from the lonely hill.

The lonely hill clings to the bottom of the cliff stream, which is full of sun and rain, and looks loose and loose, with occasional night breezes blowing, and the sound of sand and gravel rammed earth rolling down, seems to have the possibility of collapse at any time. It would not be a joke if the ridge was about to fall down suddenly without warning. The crowd a few meters away paused, and for the sake of safety, the big man in the lead glanced at the short man who asked the question earlier, and the short man understood, so he took the lead in going over alone. After he had probed back and forth around the lonely hill and saw that there was no vision, the rest of the group of people who were short in the darkness not far away gathered in unison.

As soon as the cautious night owls arrived, the leader knocked his head three times in the southeast direction, and then took out three pillars of black sandalwood from his bosom, the sandalwood was thin and thick, the short and the long, thin like hair, and thick as an adult's thumb and belly. These three sticks of sandalwood are very different from those seen in ordinary temples, and they are very strange. The leader was lit by the flint and inserted it into the soil in the north direction of everyone, and the group stared at the green silk of sandalwood with closed breath, and it was as quiet as a cicada for a while.

Legend has it that in the number of folk techniques, when the coffin is suppressed or the altar is opened, there is a saying that the five incense is first towned, and the master of the art is judged to observe the burning degree of the incense, if the length of the incense candle burning is not the same, it is unlucky, if it is five incense candles two short and three long, it is regarded as a sign of great evil, that is, the meaning of "three long and two short", in order to warn. But this group of black-clothed people were obviously not people in the number of magic, and the number of incense burns was less than five, and after only observing the green silk for a while, they began to rub their hands, and it seemed that they had no worries. With the understanding of the leading man, a few people next to him immediately picked up the Luoyang shovel and Qingchuan pickaxe, which were already sweat-stained in their hands, and chiseled them at the center of the bottom of the lonely hill. Three under five divided by two, a bay of about 80 centimeters of the robbery hole began to take shape.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the sand is turned over, and I don't know when the wind suddenly rises in the forest stream. As soon as the wind passed, the thieves who were busy digging holes and moving soil couldn't help but get goosebumps, and even the leader of the group of thieves who was sitting cross-legged with his hands spreading the file couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a chill swept over his spine.

As soon as the coolness hit, he hurriedly raised his eyes to look at the three sandalwood sticks as far as his eye could see, the sandalwood green smoke curled, nothing unusual, but before he could catch his breath, he noticed that the situation of the thieves behind him was not right-the slight sound of digging holes and turning the earth before was no longer audible.

What's going on? Maybe the thieves have already opened the hole, and the thieves are waiting for their orders? The leader looked back and saw that the cave was still there, and it was dark and inexhaustible; The Qingchuan pickaxe Luoyang shovel was scattered or stuck directly into the ground on a pile of rammed earth gravel in the east and west, as if no one had touched it for a long time, and even the candle flame of the white candle lit at the entrance of the thief cave to measure the flow and quality of the air still flashed sporadically...... Everything looks fine. But it was this glance that shocked the tiger body of the leader of the thieves, and the 36,000 hairs around him stood on end almost at the same time

——In the blink of an eye, the other five brothers who were still busy working behind him were unexpectedly gone at this time!

It is also the leader of this group of thieves who deserves this name, and before they are shocked, their bodies have already reacted in the shortest possible time. I saw him rise from the ground with a carp, and a short blade with a cold light had already been caught in his hand: he was really frightened, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were already dripping, but even if the current situation was tense, the lonely hills and four fields with gusting night winds really did not have any vision, not even a ghost, and he could not perceive any substantial strong enemies or dangers at all. I don't know if it's because the nerves are too tight, he even began to wonder if he didn't bring his little brother with him, and he dug the pit and turned over the soil single-handedly from beginning to end.

While the human nerves are highly concentrated, the five senses will also exert extraordinary acumen, especially for the experienced masters. As soon as the masked man holding a short steel steadied himself, he immediately set his eyes on the top of the lonely hill that had been partially stolen. This is a terrible sight, the top of the ridge that was empty before is now squatting a huge black shadow that does not look like a human or a beast, which is more than half a cut higher than ordinary people, and this thing is ...... is staring at himself in front of the cave with a pair of big empty eyes!

How can this group of thieves say that he is also a man with a tiger's back and a waist of one meter and eight days and more than one heaven and earth, this glance is really shocking, but he does not dare to slack off when he is creepy, and he doesn't even think about it for a moment, he flips on the spot, grabs the fire on the ground and pokes it into the candle flame in front of the thief hole - this fire has been wrapped in rags soaked in grease and ointment for many days, and it is convenient to burn when he enters the ancient tomb, and because it is a material that is not easy to extinguish, this poke suddenly burst into a large cluster of flames, The four fields suddenly lit up. The leader threw his hands again, and the crackling fire was galloping towards the top of the lonely hill with the sound of the wind.

He wanted to see what it was.

But before the whistling Huo Tingzi was thrown in front of the target, the huge black shadow that was squatting without moving disappeared into the sudden firelight, and the leader of the group of thieves was in a heart, and his heart was not good, but it was too late - almost at the same time as the torch landed, he only felt a cold chest and a sweet throat and eyes, and before he knelt down, the image in front of him began to spin around. In his last moment, the leader of the thieves could still feel that he was being swept through the darkness by something, but he had no chance to know where he was going.

From the time these gray-clothed thieves approached this lonely hill and dirt, until finally it was only a matter of a few minutes when the loss of the leader's life was added up, the moon had escaped into the clouds again, and in the darkness, only the white candle erected at the entrance of the thief's cave could be seen dancing quietly and sporadically, and the tongue of fire was swallowing and licking the darkness. And in the woods less than a hundred meters away from this firelight, on a branch with relatively hidden leaves, a dark figure sat in the background, and saw everything that had just happened.
